What makes it 48% Baby-Friendly: Change tables, lifts and pram-friendly paths support carers, yet there is no dedicated parents' room and loud events can unsettle infants, so plan short visits and confirm facilities.

Why 1–2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time to use baby-change facilities, explore the atrium, and visit nearby Glebe Park playground without rushing.
Use baby-change stations:

Tip: Bring your own changing mat; restrooms are free and uncluttered.
Stroll the atrium and foyers:
Walk through the natural-light atrium and open foyers with your pram.
Tip: Midday light makes it bright and warm; avoid peak event times for quiet.
Play at Glebe Park playground:
Walk 2 minutes to the nearby park for slides and lawns.
Tip: Pack a small toy or blanket; shade trees offer shelter on sunny days.
